uring the past two decades, we have witnessed a virtual revolution
in consumer electronics technology. More than ever before, stateof-the-art research is being incorporated into everyday household appliances. Compact Disc-Interactive is the latest example of this process.
Quite often, these advances are met by reluctance on the part of professionals until they see the new technology in use. This hesitation is often
based on a lack ofinformation concerning the technology itself.
This book is an attempt to provide that sort ofinformation to professionals preparing to enter the CD-I marketplace. It not only defines CD-I’s
place in the media world, but also guides you through the decision process of entering the CD-I market. Detailed examples are provided
illustrating the use ofCD-I in the home as well as in business and educational environments.
Compact Disc-Interactive is indeed a new medium, but it is based on
sound technology of the past. It may not be appropriate for every use;
however, until its capabilities are understood, no real decision can be
made concerning its usefulness for any specific purpose
Some ofthe questions involved in this decision process are:
• What is CD-I? What are its capabilities?
• Is this the right medium for my needs?
• How much will it cost me to get up and running?
• What CD-I industry services are available now? Are more in the
works?
• Does my business need a full Research and Development staff to
produce CD-I titles?
To answer these questions, this book provides both an overview of the
CD-I industry as it now exists and numerous specific examples of CD-I
titles. While admittedly not comprehensive, the example titles provide
you with a glimpse of the range and variety of CD-I’s communication
abilities.
A complete technical overview of the design and production process is
also presented. This can be especially useful if you must determine how
much of the design and production process can be done in-house and
how much must be contracted out. To assist you in your cost analysis, we
have provided a variety ofproduction scenarios from small-scale to largescale production facilities.
Finally, we try to put all of this information into context, weighing the
media considerations with the economic and design/production considerations.
Whether you want to use CD-I within your work environment, publish
titles for businesses or publish titles for the consumer market, this book
will provide valuable information to get you up and running.
